Russia ★ Keep your hands in sight(视野). It is not good manners to put them on your lap(膝). Keep your arms off the table. ★ Your wrists should be placed on the table while eating. Hold your fork in your left hand and knife in the right. ★ Leave some food on your plate to show that the host has given you enough to eat. Or the host will ask if you’d like to have more. |
Portugal(葡萄牙) ★ Cooks are highly respected in Portugal. ★ Place your napkin(餐巾) on your lap, and don’t eat with your fingers. ★ Don’t ask for salt or pepper if it is not on the table. Asking for any kind of flavoring will make the cook unhappy. |
Mexico ★ Whenever you catch the eyes of someone who’s eating, even a stranger, it’s good manners to say “Provecho”, which means “enjoy”. ★ Before you get seated, look for place cards, or wait until the host seats you. And you should say “Enjoy your meal.” Before you leave the table. ★ In Mexico, dining is more than a meal. It’s a social occasion---lunches are seldom quick and suppers can last for hours. |
